Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-125)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers take on the Mavericks in Dallas, all eyes will be on Donovan Mitchell, but the numbers suggest a quieter night for the star. While Mitchell has been impressive overall, averaging 34.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. On the road, those figures dip significantly to just 19.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. Historically, he's found it tough against the Mavericks, averaging only 24.5 points in away matchups. Add to that his recent trend where he's hit the under in 8 of his last 9 away games and we see a compelling case for taking the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 37.5. Given the circumstances, it's tough to envision Mitchell hitting that mark in this challenging environment.

Naji Marshall (Dallas Mavericks) Over 2.5 Assists (-175)

As the Mavericks host the Cavaliers, Naji Marshall stands out as a compelling player to watch for assists. With a sharp average of 5.6 assists over his last five home games, Marshall has been a playmaker in Dallas. Against the Cavaliers, he's shown he can step up, hitting the over in 10 of his last 11 games, which translates to a staggering 90.9% success rate. In the comfort of home, where he's recently dished out an impressive 3.49 assists on average, it's hard to ignore his ability to find open teammates. The Cavs' defense, while formidable, has allowed him to average 1.5 assists per game in previous matchups at home. This combination of form, home-court advantage, and historical performance makes betting on Marshall to go over 2.5 assists a savvy choice for this matchup.
